📱 POV: You’re a teenager in 2026.

➡️ Get straight A’s. Play a sport. Join three clubs. Volunteer. Build your résumé. Take ANOTHER AP class. Plan your future. Have a social life. Maintain your streaks. Look effortless on Instagram.

Oh, and don’t forget to ENJOY YOUR CHILDHOOD. 😅

Remember being a teen? We worried about fitting in, getting good grades, and whether our crush liked us back.

Today’s teens have all that pressure PLUS a 24/7 digital audience, constant comparisons, and the feeling that their future depends on every decision they make.

No wonder so many feel like they’re NEVER ENOUGH.

💛 But here’s the good news: The antidote to achievement culture isn’t less ambition. It’s MATTERING.

Helping kids know they are valued, seen, and needed—not because of what they accomplish, but because of WHO THEY ARE and the difference they make.

✨ What if that’s the most important ingredient we’ve been overlooking in raising confident, resilient kids? 🤔

Join bestselling author @jenniferbrehenywallace (“Never Enough” and “Mattering”) and renowned psychologist @lisa.damour (“The Emotional Lives of Teens”) for a powerful GPS Parent Series conversation about achievement pressure, self-worth, purpose, and student mental health.

You’ll discover practical ways to help kids thrive WITHOUT making them feel they have to EARN their worth.
